  1. Note that these traditional sectors DO NOT include anything related to what was formerly called “vanity publishers” – as a separate category – or today’s “Print/Publish-on-Demand” “publishers”
  2. See The Kindle Revolution Digital readers will save writers and publishing, even if they destroy the book business. By Marion Maneker Posted Wednesday, March 4, 2009 - 12:36pm http://tbm.thebigmoney.com/articles/saga/2009/03/04/kindle-revolution?page=0,1
  3. Source: Fenton, Howard. “Self-Publish or Perish? The Implications of Digital Book Production” Volume 7, Number 5 • The Seybold Report . http://www.seyboldreport.com/samples/TSR_Sample_BookPub.pdf The number of traditional publishers and the books they produce are in decline, while the number of self-publishing companies and books produced with the technology is on the rise. The strategies and technologies that are changing book production and distribution could also alter other forms of printing and publishing.

  6. You provide Computer and software Word processing PDF printer Content Design Cover, MSS ISBN number Formatted MSS saved as PDF Evaluate your skills; develop process plan WHAT’s MISSING????? Marketing plan Book mfgr provides Online access Printing Binding Database submission Fulfillment Accounting
  7. Start cheap and build experience. Then work up from the basics. Always first look for Open Source tools http://www.scribus.net/
  8. I do not work for Lulu in any way. I received no compensation or benefits from Lulu in any way. But I DO value elegant Computer code – and Lulu’s system is elegant in its simplicity yet through in what it provides. And the financial investment is Essentially as low as possible.
  9. These PPTs will be posted on the indiepubwest.com site, complete with hyperlinks so you can put them to use.
